My kindergarten class consist of 24 kindergarteners who are energetic, eager to learn, and highly motivated with hands-on learning. Our students live in a low-income neighborhood with some parents working multiple jobs to keep food on the table and clothes on their backs. Our school serves 100% free breakfast and lunch to all students.
My students live in a neighborhood that was named the most diverse neighborhood in the United States.
Their families come from all over the world with different learning styles, values, and languages. In my class, we have at least seven different ethnicities with 30% of our students working on improving their English language.
My Project
All of my students are so excited and eager to learn. I want to make their learning more hands on and give them a love for learning. These microscopes will help them to see, learn, and have more questions about the world around them. Questions lead to the need to learn more!!
The microscopes will also help deepen our lessons that we normally have.
For example, when we learn about bugs or plants they will be able to look up close and personal with these on their own, rather than me showing pictures.
The keyboard will really help my instruction, documentation, and entering go much quicker in the classroom, giving me more time to focus on the kids needs. I used one the other day and the difference was amazing, even it may seem little.
